Adding New Field to Existing Repot
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
The report expert is great to start a report, but if you go back, it
rebuilds the report. It does warn you it is doing that, and you cannot undo
it.
Most serious report developers ignore the report expert and format the
report manually. If youa re not using one the predefined styles, it is
actually faster.
Use Custom for your report development. You could easily have added the
field and shuffled a few columns around.
If you've got your original report if will be faster to restore it, and add
the field manually - and avoid the expert.
Good luck.
